brokerages: cancel/exit drill for “brokerages” — rehearse leaving before prepaid

Exit drill for brokerages

tax / statement. Export a report and open it offline on Binance. If it needs a human chat, hard fail.

withdrawal. Time a small test withdrawal on XP; mirror on BTG the same shift.

custody and commissions. Price a typical trade for your profile. No screenshot → drill does not count.

Three paths a team runs in Modesto

A technical founder in Modesto opened a trial on Binance, cloned the workload on XP, and kept BTG as control with 6 seats.

Symbolic ceiling ~$196/month. Above that without a green drill → stay monthly.

Binance, XP, and BTG in the rehearsal

Binance only “passes” “brokerages” hype if self-serve cancel opens without support login.

XP shows near “best brokerage 2026”; measure the exit path, not onboarding.

Keep BTG on the sheet: failed export freezes the whole shortlist.

Fails that kill prepaid

• Cancel for Binance/XP is email-only.
• Export for BTG will not open offline.
• “investing apps” cannot become an internal metric.
• Drill exceeds 20 minutes without a clear URL.

Drill go / no-go

Consider annual on broker-compare-2026 only if the sheet is green. Otherwise stay monthly.
